Gilded copper ue-ba (teeth) and a striking bristle kuchihige (moustache) are distinctive features of this mask and provide a confident and handsome visual.
Unfortunately, I only have a very shallow understanding of Edo period Japan! A lot of these things I share because I find them interesting on a surface level, but have no deeper insight into the history of them, sadly!
